And Props to Rubner Tuners for including extra screws. Tiny screws can easily get lost or broken, there should always be extras. (Now safely packed in the case if they’re ever needed.)

It's raining where I am, so, nobody notices.
Love the rosewood tuner buttons, Chris! The whole thing looks great!

Golpeador is on! (That’s a tap plate for you non-flamencons. Also highly recommended if you want to use a nylon string guitar in a folk style. DON’T be like Willie. At least in that respect. Trigger may be iconic, but it’s still guitar abuse.)

I had a Larrivee that aged differently between the clear pickguard and top. It already had some aging toner on the top, so that might have caused it.

Then, of course, the MOST important part of any guitar.

The first ding?
Hopefully you have a good luthier available, who can repair that before the customer sees it . . . oops, too late.

You want uniformity, get yourself a Taylor.
You want a unique instrument, come to me.

It shows it's hand made.

Nawww. At least the only one I know... this is Don's Avalon L-32 Legacy Series from about the early 2000's?? It's such an amazing guitar. Just played it tonight as far as my messed up hand will allow. Anyway, it has an original clear pickguard.....

p.s. - we know it has a sound board crack, so it's getting humidified and then cleated. Not sure when that happened but... yeah. It hung in GC for years because no one knew it was a Lowden right after George left the factory in Ireland. What an amazing guitar!!

While waiting for the guitar to be complete - here is my bet for the weigth - 1023g - since you send the prize to US only - in case I happen to be closest - let the second closest have it.
